Simply put, Big Zee, Salathe, man up and promote whoever.
I would have thought that having popular forum members as on the staff is a good idea - as opposed to having unpopular members of on the staff team?

If me and Salathe just appoint people, we will no doubt get the brunt of all complaints such as "he should never be a staff member" etc etc. By giving members the vote we are providing a democratic means buy which the users elect the staff, and have their say in who's on the staff. It's been to often the case that staff get accused of ignoring the users, so surely by providing a democratic vote we are listening to your thoughts?

We do of course retain the right to veto any vote which we thing will be a seriously bad appointment.
